AD-C
How it Works
Nature’s Sunshine’s Chinese herbal combinations are based on 5000 years of Chinese herbal tradition. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which includes the use of herbal medicine, continues to provide primary healthcare throughout Asia even in these modern times. AD-C is considered a chi-regulating formula. An important concept in TCM, chi (also known as qi) is the vital life energy of the body and is considered essential for all life. The chi flows through the body following pathways called meridians. The goal in TCM, according to ancient Chinese philosophy, is to keep the chi flowing unobstructed in order to maintain optimum health. Balanced chi, according to Chinese philosophy, also encourages an overall sense of well-being. The Chinese call this formula jie yu, which can be translated to mean “relieve anxiety and tension.” According to TCM, when the liver is functioning at itspeak, positive mood may be maintained.
The story behind AD-C
Traditional Chinese Medicine would consider this a “fire enhancing” combination to regulate and untrap chi (vitality). According to TCM, when the liver is functioning at its peak, positive mood may be maintained. Because the liver helps provide filtered blood to all cells of the body, liver health and function can greatly influence mood. Undesirable blood compounds must be properly neutralized by the liver. Chinese Mood Elevator contains herbs that help cleanse and support the liver.
Cyperus goes back to ancient Egypt where it was cooked or served with honey. It is also used in Ayurveda. Bupleurum, or hare’s ear, grows in East Asia where it has been used in TCM for more than 2,000 years for detox support and moving chi. Asian ginseng root has been famous for centuries as it benefits both mental and physical health. Traditionally ginseng root was eaten to boost memory, mood, concentration and endurance. Platycodon originated in the meadows of China, Korea and Japan. TCM notes its ability to expel fluid and support respiratory health.
